Most of the Jews killed were in countries that had standing armies that fell to the Nazis within days, weeks, and months (or fought to a stalemate in the case of the Soviets for years). Millions of men under arms couldn’t stop the Nazi onslaught, but apparently a few Jews with guns would have prevented the Holocaust before it began.

I don’t mean to undermine the importance of events like the Warsaw Uprising or the partisans who fought behind the lines, but a few Jews with guns would not have turned the tide, not when the Nazis were more than willing to obliterate everything in their path to get rid of Jews.

Right and I too appreciate the bravery of resistance too. Even did a whole essay on the changing perception of how Jews have been portrayed on fil min regards to the HOlocaust from the 50’s to the present one semester. What the gun fucks don’t get is that they were dealing with one of the most massive armies the world had ever seen. A bunch of armed civilians wasn’t going to stop the Holocaust and frankly even if it did, that should not be rationale for gun hoarding.
